  • 1985: Channel 50 screens the series episodically on a weekly basis, with a complete 'movie' Saturday nights.
  • 7 September 1985: The 17 repackaged William Hartnell stories make their US debut on NJN, on Saturday, 9.00pm, in omnibus "movie" format.
  • 26 October 1985: The Colin Baker stories make their US debut on NJN, screening one full story on the last Saturday of each month. (This means that the Bakers play between Hartnell and Troughton runs of episodes.)
  • 22 February 1986: By design or purely coincidentally, The Two Doctors plays during the Troughton run.
  • 1986: The series aired on Saturdays, at 9.00pm, during the year.
  • 9 January 1988: The NJN-produced special "Doctor Who Then & Now" airs.
"The Making of Dr Who Special", 13 November 1988
  • 13 November 1988: Following a screening of The Five Doctors (7.00 to 8.00pm), Channel 50 screens "The Making of Dr Who Special" (from 9.00 to 10.00pm), another of the specially-commissioned behind the scenes / interview specials produced by the Network. This one goes behinds the scenes during the making of Silver Nemesis. This was followed by another regular omnibus, from 10.00 till midnight.
  • 3 March 1990: Season 26 of the Sylvester McCoy stories makes its US debut, with the four stories played in production order.
  • 5 September 1992: The week after the Marathon, the series moves to an earlier 5.00pm timeslot.
  • 13 August 1994: After over ten years of almost uninterrupted screenings of Doctor Who, the New Jersey Network drops the series; the final story to be broadcast is The Deadly Assassin. The reasons cited for this are declining viewers, dwindling donations and increased residual payment demands made by Lionheart.
  • In the final years, stories were played episodically, rather than as omnibus "movies", weekly at 11.00pm.
  • Between 1983 and 1994, NJN enjoyed runs of every surviving full story at least twice, with the Tom Baker stories played as many as six times.
